Visual Basic (VB) has become the most popular programming language for
several reasons. VB is easy to learn, which makes it an excellent tool for understanding
programming concepts. In addition, it has evolved into such a
powerful and popular product that skilled Visual Basic programmers are in
demand in the job market.
Visual Basic 2008, the latest version of VB, has many new features, especially
in queries and Web application development. Visual Basic is designed
to allow the programmer to develop applications that run under Windows
and/or in a Web browser without the complexity generally associated with
programming.
This edition of the text is updated to Visual Studio 2008, .NET 3.5, and
ASP.NET 3.5. The screen captures are based on Windows Vista, but all programs
can be run in Windows XP, although the special effects of WPF cannot
be seen in XP.
